Very nice exposure of this old Cathedral, Bret. The tower does seem to have a bit of a lean to the right. Perhaps a little straightening tweek would improve the composition. Best wishes, Larry.

Nice composition and exposure, Bret! I like the way you kept the details in the sky as well as getting the shadows.

Bret This is fantastic, love the the cut out shape - it really adds to the overall lovely look to the composition. The colours are kind of magical - like a really nice illustration in a fairy tale book. - And of course a great capture of the birds nesting

Beautiful composition, Bret. I especially like the water as background and the delicate light. I'm a little surprised these Canadas let you get this close when nesting. Well done!

Terrific composition, Bret, and the warm lighting is terrific. (Side comment: I find the midwest is like the Rodney Dangerfield of America, most folks have no clue it exists or know anything about it.) Nice work!

A truly lovely building and worthy of more attention. The symmetrical composition works well here. There's so little color in the scene, it might work equally well in black and white. Either way, nice work.

I see you tried to place trees in front of lights where ever possible , very good.
The biggest weakness this photo has is noise.
Noise and digtal long exposures seem to go hand in hand there are some tricks(i've added some below) to compensate for digitals lack of quality in that department.
THE BASIC TRICK
the best is to boost iso marginally and shutter speed increase testing.
try multiple setups to see where you get least noise like 100 iso f8 10 sec may be better at 200 iso f5.6 3 sec
but testing is the only way to find the best combo for reduced noise.
THE GOOD TRICK
If the exposure is more correct there will be less noise so bracketing a setup like this could benifit you in a more noise free photo even though they look similar.
THE TRICKY Trick (how cliche!)
Taking one photo at same settings with the lens cap ON yes thats right ON then remove and take one without it on keep the black one and later in photoshop or simmilar use the blank as a mask for selecting the noise to gausan blurr.
hope these methods help you create even more exciting images in the night time hours.

Beautiful composition, Bret. This feels a tad overexposed to me, but only in places.
I wonder if using an ND grad sideways over the War Memorial would help bring it in line with the rest of the photo. Just a thought.

I like this version of the scene very much - the lights and composition are good and the moon contributes again. I'd be tempted to crop some of the sky from the top and make this more of a panorama - I think it would make the photo stronger. Well done!
